WCP: Imam Mohammed "The Blueprint For Economic Resurrection" New Jersey '86

For Muslims, the most important perception of life is Community.  There is no hope for the individual without that existing, that is, Community.  Our social scientists, those who study the history of human societies, the needs of the individual in human society, have made known to us that the simple functions of a human being such as speech, communication, would not be possible without that person being a member of a community.  We learn to speak the language because we are a member of a community.  In the community of our family, our mothers, our sisters, our brothers, close relatives, associates, we learn to function as a human being.  It has been documented that where certain human beings have been deprived of an opportunity to grow up, to develop in a human community, they did not reach that human plane of life and expression.  They were found without out human speech and without human posture, without human sensitivities.  So community for us, is the most important perception.  We are to perceive ourselves, see ourselves first of all, as a community.  And Allah, Most High, says to us in His Holy Book, "You Are the Best Community brought out for the good of all People."
